Eric E. Nelson studies how the brain develops during childhood and adolescence, focusing on how young people process social and emotional information such as faces, voices, and peer feedback. Much of this work links brain activity and behavior to risk for anxiety and depression, and some studies examine specific populations such as transgender youth, youth with epilepsy, and those with early temperamental risk factors. The research combines neuroimaging (like fMRI) with behavioral and eye-tracking methods to track how these processes change with age.
Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade with peaks in 2019 and 2023, but has remained fairly steady overall at around 6 papers per year in the most recent five years.
